Well, the 48 hour ultimatum. Reading soo many different blogs, listening to NPR, reading the newspaper and watching the news...and I still don't know what's right. Sure, I believe Saddam should be stopped, he's butchering innocent people to serve his own means. I want Bin Laden stopped as well, who in the US doesn't? But is this war just G-dub trying to make up for his father's mistake? Or is there truly the threat that Saddam will use these weapons of mass destruction? All I know right now is that I'm on a plane heading to Florida for some much needed R&R on Thursday. I'm simply praying for a safe and relaxing trip...and possibly enlightenment. I don't want you all to get the idea that I'm a dove, I'm not. I'm also not a hawk. I want these mad-men stopped, and if war will accomplish that end, then I will support that war. (Just wanted to clarify...)
Interestingly enough, here at work last Friday, we had Ken Alibek, author of Biohazard come to speak. I'm pretty afraid of what bio-terrorism can do now, but I refuse to let it cripple me. I'll be reading the book, along with some good-old-fashioned "smut" (gotta love Danielle Steel) during my vacation. I'll let you know what I think when I finish.
I have some awesome new pics that I'll try to scan and post this evening. I have a ton of cleaning and packing to do, tho, so we'll see if I get 'round to it! Y'all take care!

Have a good time - we'll be here when you get back!
Have a wonderful trip.
I'm glad to hear I"m not the only one who isn't sure who is "right" in all of this. I know I don't stay "up to date" to everything that is going on, so I'm sure there are lots of things if I did know, it would make sense. But, I can't help but think that the harder we push, the harder they will fight back. What exactly did this man DO to US to warrant this?
Oops. meant to mark 2 eprops, because we are on the same wave length about being "unsure" about this war.
